Denver show now at the Fillmore Auditorium

Much props, Mr. Chip! I'll certainly be using the work you've just done to voice my opinion. Livenation can suck it.

I think a great way to drive sales for concert tickets is to schedule a performance at Red Rocks, and then switch the venue 3 days before the show to something less desirable. The classic bait-and-switch. What a shill...

I got my tickets in April, and was looking forward to Red Rocks all summer. I feel conned. If they weren't going to fill the venue and had to change, that is great, but tell us sooner. Give us time to get a refund, to reschedule. If I would have found this out last week, I'd send my tickets back for both Underworld and Chemical Brothers, get the refund, and buy the combo ticket. $50 for two concerts at the Fillmore is acceptable, but getting conned into spending $82 for tickets + $18.80 in fees is criminal.

And yes, I sound much more professional when I contact non-fans than here. I think you fans can handle venting better than, say 9 news tiplines. Whoever posted to the Yahoo financial site did well too.

Doubt the band is going to read this stuff... aren't they performing right now? They might read something tomorrow. I doubt there is anything they could do, other than rock the house especially hard on Tuesday. Or free t-shirts.

The Fillmore's not bad though. Excellent sound system. There's oodles of room to dance, why you could bring some cardboard boxes and be able to windmill.

i've dreamed of Underworld at Red Rocks for years now. i almost planned a special mid-week vacation for it too. glad i didn't.

the worst part i see about this is no reason being given for the switch? i'm dying to know why it was switched. the Fillmore is not a small place by any means, so i can't imagine ticket sales would be an issue.

This was an interesting article. I remember hearing people tell me that when I saw Daft Punk, I was just seeing two guys playing them on stage. I don't think that DP would do that - to have such a massive stage setup and not show up to play themselves would just be silly - but with someone like MF Doom, it almost seems like he's just playing a part, and his fans are his audience. If he did do all of what this article says, that's just wack. You have to always, always remember that your fans are damn important. I'm glad that UW has always done a lot for their fans. I'm sure we'll still get a rocking show at the Filmore.
